Is it serious if the left testicular epididymis is oriented inward towards the body?

Patient's question:

Left testicular epididymis, sometimes it points inward toward the body, sometimes it points outward, is this normal? It sometimes moves quickly on its own, like 180°, shifting from pointing inward to pointing outward, is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

The testicles and epididymis hang inside the scrotum and can sway, being non-fixed. Therefore, changes in position are normal. As long as there are no discomforts, pain, or swelling, it is generally not a problem and there is no need to worry. If any discomfort occurs, it is important to seek follow-up treatment promptly. For testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
